CSUN Office of Institutional Research

The Office of Institutional Research at Cal State Northridge (IR) provides the analytic, research, and descriptive data needed by the university's divisions, colleges, departments, and offices as they strive to implement their strategic plans and fulfill the campus's mission.

The in-depth reports prepared by IR draw on information about the university's past, present, and surrounding community to provide insight into CSUN's success in enabling its diverse students to complete their studies and succeed in this century's multinational, electronic world.

The Office also acts as a data steward, with responsibility for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the wide-ranging information under its control. It assists in transforming the student, faculty, and curricular data stored in the university's multiple databases into information useful to various academic and other campus units, helping to resolve data extraction and reporting problems in the process.

Finally, IR responds to requests for statistical information from both on- and off-campus agencies, groups, and individuals.
